Xiao Yao really wanted to thank him.
Hadn't he just thrown her out?
"Your Highness, I am here, only to offend your sight."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have thrown her out as soon as he got out of bed, finding her an eyesore.
Xiao Yao was quite self-aware of this.
"Your Highness, since that's the case, I'll stay..."
"Have you repaid the debt you owe this Prince?"
"Can I pay with money?"
"No!"
"Your Highness, you are unreasonable!" Where was she supposed to find an identical flower for him?
Even if she planted one now, she had no idea when it would grow. Did she have the time and energy for that?
She still needed to find her master!
"If you think you can defeat all the experts in this Prince's manor, you can try to escape. However, this Prince has stated beforehand that if you escape and are caught by this Prince, your legs will surely be broken!"
It wasn't a recent development that he was unreasonable; everyone knew that.
Feng Ye Xuan paid no mind to her accusation.
He snorted coldly, "Don't blame this Prince for not reminding you. My men are spread throughout the land. Not only can you not escape the imperial city, but even if you do, this Prince has plenty of ways to bring you back!"
Xiao Yao bit her lip, clenching her fist.
Leng Ji originally wanted to persuade her, but he realized he didn't know who to persuade.
Should he advise Miss Xiao Yao not to oppose the Prince, or should he advise the Prince not to trouble a young girl?
But it seemed this matter had nothing to do with him.
Feng Ye Xuan suddenly said again, "Prepare some food for her. Let her eat more. She's too thin, it's unsightly!"
"Dog..."
The door slammed shut.
Xiao Yao stomped her feet and clenched her fists, so angry she was about to explode.
Leng Ji coughed lightly, suppressing a smile. "Miss Xiao Yao, His Highness is just looking out for you. You are indeed... too thin."
"What can I do if I just can't gain weight?" Didn't everyone know she was too thin?
Xiao Yao was a physician herself. She knew she was indeed abnormally thin.
No matter how much she ate during this period, she couldn't gain any weight.
It was as if her body had some serious problem, becoming thinner and thinner... Wuwuwu, her chest was almost completely gone!
It used to be somewhat appealing, but lately, why was she getting thinner and thinner no matter how much she ate?
Could it be that her body truly had a major problem?
"Miss Xiao Yao, I'll order someone to prepare a sleeping chamber for you. You can stay in the West Wing for now, alright?"
"No!" She just wanted to leave. She still needed to find her master.
"Wait here in the pavilion, I'll have someone prepare food for you." Leng Ji didn't listen to her, making arrangements for her as he saw fit.
After all, the Prince had said she was not allowed to leave.
If the Prince said no, then it was no!
Not long after, Xiao Yao, who had temporarily chosen to bow to the forces of evil, sat under a distant pavilion and began to eat.
Meanwhile, a messenger arrived for Feng Ye Xuan: "Your Highness, His Majesty requests that you join him for some tea after you rise."
Feng Ye Xuan felt a pang of guilt.
After what he did to Li'er last night, and with Fu Ning not coming, he had almost forgotten that Li'er lived in his manor.
He had actually forgotten the woman most important to him in his life.
A wave of guilt immediately washed over him.
"Alright, this Prince will go now."
Fu Ning lowered her head. As she was about to follow him, her gaze inadvertently fell upon a familiar figure.
Fu Ning looked up.
Under the distant pavilion, a young girl sat by a table, her back to Fu Ning, seemingly eating.
Fu Ning's heart gave a sudden jolt!
How could this be?
Wasn't His Majesty still in the Thousand Cloud Pavilion? Why was he here?
No, this was... a smaller version of His Majesty! It was as if he had aged several years younger!
Feng Ye Xuan had already walked far away.
Fu Ning, filled with shock, quickly walked over: "...A'Li!"
